3/4

Served pulled pork tacos and this dessert at a shower event and 4 months later at the wedding people still talked about this dish. Yes,Yes for the real chefs I used store bought Dulce de Leche ice cream but my guest didn't seem to mind.

Holy cow! I made this as part of my Valentine's Day dinner and it was a fantastic end to the meal! I tripled (quadrupled?) the spices -- we love spicy stuff, and this definitely worked! I will definitely make again. Oh, I couldn't find dulce de leche ice cream, so I used vanilla and it was perfectly lovely.

Wow. This is a
divine dessert
combination. Here in
Germany Dulce de
Leche is basically
unheard of, so I had
to make it from
scratch, then made
the ice cream. Found
both recipes found
on this website,
search "dulce de
leche" - and I don't
get the nasty
reviews from some
people - it's not
like anyone tells
you not to make it
if you want to. The
recipe is easy to
find.
Anyway: The
chocolate sauce is
maybe the best I've
ever had. Definitely
a keeper!

To those of you who are complaining that the recipe calls for store bought ice cream. I found this recipe by clicking on the link for "Quick and Easy Mexican Feast" If I had to make my own ice cream it would have defeated the purpose of "Quick and Easy"

It wasn't as good as I was hoping for.

There is a wonderful recipe for Dulce de Leche ice cream on this website from Gourmet 5/2007. Try it. The sauce is delightful, a lovely combination. I find it interesting yet disappointing that 5 of 17 reviews slammed this recipe for using (gasp!) purchased ice cream. C'mon folks, have you never been in a hurry?

And for those of you folks who like to pair a no-brainer sauce with prepared ice cream ... Why do you even buy this magazine? Do you make anything at all? Bet you buy bottled salad dressing. Geeze. Take a cooking class, please.

This is a joke, right? A "recipe" that calls for store bought ice cream? What's the punch line? There was not an option for "no forks." Disgusting.

Yum! I served this
at a big fiesta of
about 30 guests
because I wanted a
simple, beautiful
Mexican dessert that
wasn't flan (yuck!).
I spruced it up by
serving it with
caramel brownies &
pecans, but decided
that the recipe is
better left as is
(the brownies were
too much). I bought
little disposable
champagne glasses at
Smart & Final, and
in the context, they
looked like
mini-margarita
glasses-- very cute
for serving & no
clean up!
I was hesitant about
the cayenne pepper,
but it turned out
great-- it added a
little depth of
flavor without
giving it a weird
savory, spicy taste.
Also, I made the
chocolate sauce in
advance & reheated
it when I served
it-- that was
another mistake. The
fat separated, and
the consistency was
a little gloppy.
Nothing tragic, just
not as pretty as
when I made it in
the morning. I would
recommend prepping
the ingredients
ahead of time &
making the sauce
just as you're
serving it.
In all, very easy &
delicious! I'll make
it again!

Delicious! I added a bit more of the pepper and also served it with grilled pineapple as suggested by another reviewer. Perfect!
